How old do you have to be
to get contraception?
Anyone can ask for contraception, no matter
how old they are. If you are under 16 a
doctor, nurse or health worker can prescribe
contraception, if they believe you understand
the decision you are making. If you feel
nervous, you could visit a specialist young
person’s service, such as Brook.
There are no laws to stop under 16s buying
condoms or preventing shopkeepers from
selling them to under 16s. You can buy them
from chemists, like Boots or Superdrug, larger
supermarkets, petrol stations, pubs and vending
machines in toilets. Lots of young people’s
sexual health services give them away free.

I don’t want my parents to know
Even if you are under 16, doctors, nurses and
other health workers have very strict rules on
confidentiality. The law says they have to keep
all patient records and information completely
private. In really exceptional cases, if they think that
you or another person is in serious danger, they
might feel there is a need to pass information on,
but they would talk to you about it first.

Methods of contraception
There are lots of different methods of
contraception to choose from and different
methods will suit different people. This guide will
help you to choose a method that is right for you.
How reliable is my contraception?
Contraceptive use can either be perfect (always correct)
or typical (which usually applies to the average person,
as it’s sometimes difficult to use contraception correctly
every time). The effectiveness figures for each method
used in this booklet are based on typical use during the
first year.

Contraceptive methods
You are sure to find contraception to suits you as there are several types to choose from.
Long acting reversible contraception (LARC) (Implant, IUD (coil), and IUS)
Sometimes called ‘fit and forget’ methods. These are very reliable and you won’t need to
do anything until they need replacing several years after fitting.
Hormonal contraception (‘The pill’, patch, injection and vaginal ring)
Very reliable methods providing they are used exactly as directed.
Barrier contraception (diaphragm, male and female condoms)
To be used every time you have sex.
Natural family planning and withdrawal methods
Need lots of self-control and expert teaching and knowledge.
Sterilisation (Vasectomy and female sterilisation)
Permanent and irreversible surgery.
Have a look at the methods in more detail on the following pages.

Contraceptive implant (Nexplanon®)
The implant is the size of a thin matchstick and a doctor
or nurse inserts it under the skin of the upper arm after a local
anaesthetic. They use a needle to insert the implant. It should
only take a few minutes and you won’t need any stitches.
It releases the hormone progestogen, which stops the ovary
from releasing eggs that could be fertilised.

Intrauterine system (IUS or Mirena®)
The small, T-shaped piece of plastic (approx. 3cm long) slowly
releases a small amount of hormone. This hormone thickens the
mucus in the cervix (neck of the womb) making it harder for the
sperm to enter the womb and fertilise an egg. The IUS is fitted into
the uterus (womb) through the vagina by a doctor or nurse. It takes
a few minutes to insert and it may hurt a bit, though not for long.

•Condoms are the only contraception

catching the sperm
•They come in different shapes, sizes
and flavours, which can make sex
more fun
• They can split or slip off
• They can interrupt sex
•Oil-based products (like body oils,
hand creams and Vaseline) can
damage the latex and make the
condom more likely to split, so
always use water-based lubricant
Busted excuses for not using a condom:
‘I’m healthy’ Many people with sexually transmitted infections have no symptoms. Just because you
can’t see any obvious symptoms, such as sores or warts, doesn’t mean that you’re free from STIs.
‘I like it natural’ Sex with a condom can feel natural. With the new superfine condoms, you often
can’t tell that you’re using one.
‘I can’t be bothered’ “If you can’t be bothered to use a condom then I can’t be bothered to have sex
with you.” Condoms don’t just cut the risk of pregnancy or infections. They can help both of you to
have more fun in bed. Try a coloured condom for some fun, a textured condom for extra sensation,
or a flavoured condom for oral sex.
‘They hurt’ or ‘they’re too small’ A condom that’s too tight may feel uncomfortable. But condoms
come in a range of sizes, so you can easily find one that fits properly.

Female condom
Female condoms are similar to male condoms except
they fit inside the vagina rather than over the penis. They
line the vagina to stop sperm getting into it. They are also
wider than a male condom. They are held in place with a
ring that lies outside the vagina. There will be instructions
with the packet, which you should read carefully before
using female condoms for the first time.

Natural family planning
This is when you identify the most fertile phase of your monthly
cycle using natural signs, such as body temperature, cervical
secretions and the length of your menstrual cycle. Vaginal sex is
avoided or condoms are used during this fertile time. You should
only use natural family planning if you have been taught by a
specialist. Every woman is different and natural family planning
needs to be understood really well if it is going to be effective.

Sterilisation
This is a permanent form of contraception
that will prevent pregnancy forever. It’s only
suitable for people who never want children,
or who do not want any more children.
Men and women can both be sterilised.
Men have the tubes, which carry the sperm,
tied or sealed so that there is no sperm in
their semen when they ejaculate (cum).
This is called a vasectomy.
Women have an operation to cut or block
the tubes between the ovary and the womb
(fallopian tubes) so that the eggs released
by the ovary can’t reach the womb.

Emergency contraception can be

Emergency contraceptive pill
These work by preventing or delaying the release of an
egg from the ovary. It may also affect the womb lining
so a fertilised egg cannot settle there. There are 2 kinds
of morning after pill – Levonelle® and ellaOne®.
Levonelle® can be taken up to 3 days after unprotected
sex, but the sooner you take it the more likely it is to
work. If it is taken within 24 hours after sex it reduces
the risk of pregnancy by 95%.
ellaOne® can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected
sex. It is believed to be more effective than Levonelle®
and works just as well at any time within the 5 day
period. It is only available with a prescription.

Emergency intrauterine device (IUD)
The IUD, sometimes called the ‘coil’, is a
small, T-shaped piece of plastic (approx. 3cm)
surrounded by copper which is inserted into
the uterus (womb) through the vagina by a
doctor or nurse.
The IUD can be fitted at:
It can be fitted as an emergency contraceptive
up to 5 days after unprotected sex or up to
5 days after the expected date of ovulation.
Check with your chosen service to see if
they fit IUDs and find out whether a suitably
trained doctor or nurse will be available to fit
the IUD when you attend.
See page 33 for contact details.
• Most Brook centres
• Family planning clinics
• Some GPs
See page 13 for more information
about the IUD.
The IUD works by stopping an egg from
being fertilised or implanted in the uterus.
The IUD is the most effective form of
emergency contraception and can be kept as
a regular method of contraception for up to
10 years.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
What are they?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are
infections that spread through sexual
contact. STIs can be passed on through
any kind of unprotected sex (anal,
vaginal and oral sex).
Some STIs show signs a few days after infection, while many have no symptoms at all.
If you don’t know you are infected and you don’t get treated, they can cause serious
problems later on in life.
See www.bpas.org/bpasyoungpeople to view our “So you want to know about STIs”
booklet.
30
www.bpas.org
Get tested
An STI won’t go away without treatment, but most STIs can be easily treated with
antibiotics.
It’s simple to get tested and it’s free. If you think you might have an STI you
should attend your local sexual health clinic. Call 0300 123 7123 or visit
www.nhs.uk/worthtalkingabout to find a clinic near you.
Tests for STIs vary. Some are samples taken from inside the vagina or tip of the penis
using a swab (cotton wool bud). You may be able to take the sample yourself, or a nurse
or doctor may do this for you. Other STI tests require a sample of urine or blood.
Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK with sexually active young people most
at risk of infection. It often has no symptoms but may cause fertility problems, if it is not
treated. You may be able to get a free chlamydia test through the post where you live.

Think you might be pregnant?
If you think you might be pregnant the
first thing to do is find out whether
you really are. A pregnancy test is the
most reliable way to find out if you
are pregnant.
You can have a FREE pregnancy
test at:
• Brook centres
If the test is positive and you have an
unplanned pregnancy you have three
choices:
• Family Planning Clinics
• Continue with the pregnancy and become a parent
• Some sexual health or genitourinary medicine
(GUM) clinics
• Continue with the pregnancy and seek adoption
• GP surgery/practice
See opposite for details on how to
contact them.
32
Most pharmacies and major supermarkets
sell home pregnancy tests, costing less
than £5. These are reliable as long as you
follow the instructions carefully.
• End the pregnancy with abortion
